According to Dr Scholz getting a PSMA Pet scan to see if there’s a Metastasis and zapping it is the best way to go. At the PCRI meeting at the end of March he discussed The fact that salvage radiation only works about 1/3 of the time and the rest of the time it’s metastasis somewhere else. Another thing they mentioned is that if the lesion is smaller than 2.7 mm it cannot be seen by the PET scan.

Thanks for that information Jeff. Just watched a Dr. Scholz YouTube video that pretty much said the same thing, I Certainly like the idea of finding it and hitting it with SBRT. It’s the waiting that’s killing me and how long should you wait. How high do you let the PSA climb before giving up on PSMA PET.
